We were able to welcome in December with a wonderful field trip over to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a home school day (free admission for students and teachers!).
Enjoying activities. . .
The aquarium had a special room set up with school activities and centers.
Baby J loved the experience.
The Five Sisters!
Funny face time. . .
A special stop at Ghiradelli's for ice cream. . .it's amazing how quick one sundae disappears these days. I think it was gone before I finished snapping the shots! A little smaller than the SOS we enjoyed in Hanford years ago. It was fun to observe the beach happenings below and we watched a little boy lose his Crocs in the surf and his dad jump in to retrieve it! We all applauded his effort. It was all very entertaining.

We had some fun on the beach looking at tide pools and running from waves. . .fortunately no casualties. . .
